What is the need of coming online to argue what you can't do in reality?

I am afraid I don't follow.

Come back in about 60years, we'll see what you still think about this. I pray God keeps us all alive.

I feel you on the bolded parts of your post. I think more people are slowly but surely coming to the realization that marriage and children are life choices, not mandatory goals or achievements we all have to meet, in order to unlock happiness or the adult phase of our lives.

Some African parents having lived for 5 or more decades, gaining both godly & wordly wisdom which comes from life experiences, don't really stress or bother their kids about continuing bloodlines so much. A married couple I know in Lagos decided to not have kids, it is not spiritual, health related or village people. It is a matter of choice for them, the lady's father is a popular and elderly statesman, but I won't mention his name.

[b]Another married couple (Igbo guy in this case, let's call him Chuka) has been in a verbal battle with his father over his choice to remain child free. [/b]His father has talked and talked, now it has reached a point papa is begging for just one child. Chuka has said you are wasting your time, I won't have a child because you expect it of me or ask it of me. I need a more convincing reason than your fatherly expectations of me and so far I haven't found that reason for myself.

I don't know why so many parents want grand kids. They just want all that fun and completely none of the responsibilities. They would force you to have kids but if God forbid something bad happens they would be the ones avoiding you so you don't beg them for money.

No. Parents have a responsibility towards their children, not vice versa. We didn't ask to be born in the first place. If you're grateful for them though, you can still show them how much you care but technically, we do not owe them anything.
